The Church Hymnal ‎#240

240. Thine for ever: God of love

1 Thine for ever: God of love,
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine for ever may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

2 Thine for ever! O how best
They who find in Thee their rest!
Saviour, Guardian, heavenly Friend,
O defend us to the end!

3 Thine for ever! Lord of life,
Shield us through our earthly strife:
Thou the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.

4 Thine for ever! Shepherd, keep
These Thy weak and trembling sheep,
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let them all Thy goodness share.

5 Thine for ever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied;
All our sins by Thee forgiven,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.
